-Our Intro Song "Feel the Love" From Alex's band
open.spotify.c...
"Let it Ride" by them is a must. In high school, a BTO 8 track in your ride was a requirement.
They reacted to it about a year ago. You should check it out.
@@catbyte0679 thanks! I will.
Yup - I had mine.
@@marktait2371 😳
Thx for the mention...gonna watch that one again 👍
Thanks for hitting this guys. BTO put out lots of good bangers! Roll On Down the Highway is what you should hit next!
There are just too many GREAT BTO songs lol
Absolutely!
I think Roll On Down the Highway has one of the greatest guitar solos in Rock History. I believe the song was written for Ford to use in a commercial but they ultimately declined.
Rock is My life this is my song
Let It Ride...
A classic example of three-chord rock and roll. Simple enough anyone can play it, but one of the most addicitive hooks in music.
Back in the 90s when the Portland Trail Blazers where a very good basketball TEAM they would play this for 20.000 FANS THEY WOULD SAY TAKING CARE OF PHEONIX IN STEAD OF BUSINESS IT WAS A BLAST PORTAND TRAIL BLAZERS n PHEONIX SUNS
You think that's simple "three-chord rock and roll"? Yeah, like Jimi played "three-chord rock and roll." 🙄Dude, you need to get musically educated...
@@stevesmodelbuilds5473it’s the switches the drummer’s timing is impeccable and 2 awesome frontmen and musicians too they weren’t all three chord songs hey you ,looking out for number and then the masterpiece blue collar!!!that not easy to play !!
@@Guy-kn6jt You're right, and as far as I'm concerned, Randy was the best man on the Strat since Jimi. And the down-chord segues in 'Let it Ride' are the best ever...
When this song came out it was HUGE on the radio all the time. A toe tapping air guitar masterpiece for the working-class heroes!!
One of the all-time road trip songs of the '70s.
Working class heroes? WTF? They are mocking the working class and proclaiming how cool they are because they don't have to go to a shitty job every day.
@@effthegop True, but in a tongue in cheek kind of way...don't take it so seriously.
@@lousmith1050 Maybe I just hated my job more than you did :). And, I was a wannabe musician who hated my job so that made it even worse :)
@@effthegop I hear you brother, It's all good.
This is a BTO classic. In its day this song was ubiquitous. As soon as you heard the opening cords people poured onto the dance floor. One of the iconic songs of the 70’s.
I got out of my chair and danced to this even now!...lol
Andy's analogy about it sounding like a bar band is spot on and the lyrics are basically describing making a living just played by music. I've been making a decent living over the last 10-12 years playing in a bar band on Friday and Saturday nights and the occasionally Sunday afternoon gig and at private parties. I LOVE IT !!! 🎶🎸✌️
Hey now, it's bar bands that sound like this. This song is why bar bands sound like this. Somebody had to do it first. And it was not the bar bands first.
Heard this in many bars, wedding receptions, small functions over the years. It always gets people on the floor and fist-pumping on the chorus. Lots of "bar songs for dancing" have these run-on instrumentals/choruses so everyone can dance a minute or two longer. Simple enough that most GOOD bar bands can provide a reasonable facsimile thereof.
They didn’t have a piano player. After they finished the track, they were sitting around the control observing that it could use a piano on it. The studio janitor, who cleaning up after them, overheard what they said and told them “I play piano.” They said “give it a shot, man.” He did. And, what you hear on the record is his first and only take. He nailed it.
Ha! The story I heard was it was a pizza delivery guy on keys. Still getting royalties! Either way, it makes a hell of a story and those barrel house keys MAKE the song.
@@billhelmerich4295 The Pizza delivery story grew because he wrote the piano chords down on a used pizza box prior to playing it. He was recording commercials in the adjacent studio when BTO's sound engineer invited him to play on the song.
Well known session player Norm Durkee was recording in the next studio and the BTO recording sound engineer recommended him to Randy. Very basic story that happens fairly often - but Randy likes to tell tall tales to entertain people. Norm Durkee was not impressed with being called a pizza delivery guy or a janitor though.
@@BobSoltis1 That's great and makes much more sense.
I actually saw an interview with Randy and he told the whole story that Steve Miller was recording in the other studio room. There was a knock on the door and it was the pizza delivery guy at the wrong studio door. See Randy's interview if you wanna see the story he told. He said it was the pizza delivery guy...
Randy Bachman was lead guitar for The Guess Who. Check out their original version of American Woman. Also No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature.
I know they’ve done No Sugar/Mother Nature. Probably American Woman too but maybe 2 yrs ago.
@@itzel1735 Actually both of those songs were from 1970.
@@rochlejeune5789 I mean A&A have already reacted to those songs. It’s likely 2 years ago on the A&A channel.
Ah. Gotcha.
@@itzel1735 yeah but was it the 15 minute version or 20 minute version or whatever that is? lol I think it was a live thing from 1994 or something like that?
Takes me back to my freshman year at college. Most people didn't know who this band was, thought they were an overnight sensation, not realizing they were formed from one disbanded fragment of The Guess Who. They were the thing for a while in the mid 70s for sure. Just straight-up, in-your-face, driving Rock.
Not sure about your part of the country your in, but we all knew that at the time, and I was in high school.
This was out in my freshman year of college, too. Honestly, I got tired of this song pretty quick and it’s not one that I would ever listen to by choice.
Have the guys done American Woman yet?
I didn't know Randy Bachman was in the Guess Who for many years. Found out a few years ago.
@@CycolacFan That's the Guess who, with the great Burton Cummings on vocals. but they've got to do the long one I think it was like 15 minutes or something? lol
Such an often overlooked band. If you’re listening to BTO, you literally can’t have a bad day
As a teenager in the '70's BTO was a can't miss band!!!! Even thier deep cuts are bangers.
Yep, like "Hey You"
“Sledgehammer” and ”Not Fragile” are great bangers from BTO.
Andy would dig sledgehammer! Gritty!
LOL I just wrote the same comment, almost word for word....
Not Fragile is a great album!
“You ask if play heavy music Is a thunderhead just another cloud, we do. Not Fragile straight at you. I love Not Fragile
@@flatblack39 Especially when he really starts grinding on the vocals. If there was ever an aptly named song, this was it.
A great banger of classic Canadian rock. I saw Randy Bachman open up for Lynyrd Skynyrd 3 years ago. He still sounds great!
Driving down the road in big bad 440 Mopar powered Dodge, I blasted the sound to 100% when this song came on. Windows down, goin fast. Perfect song for the days of my youth.
My high school music. Great music never ended in the 70's i graduated in 75. This whole album was fantastic.
100% agree from another member of the class of 75!
72 and this was weekly. Boy were we spoiled!
Same!
Before BTO singer/guitarist Randy Bachman was a member of The Guess Who, for whom he wrote the song "Undun" (which I consider to be the best song ever recorded by The Guess Who).
My husband toured smaller venues (as opposed to stadiums!) all over Canada with Burton Cummings and said that, as soon as Burton began "Undun," people would pour out of the restrooms, porches, everywhere, just to listen quietly.
@@sdenison3463 I don’t doubt it at all! It’s such a brilliant song! That had to have been a cool experience for your husband!
Lots of great songs by them. Two more songs of theirs that I love: "Blue Collar" and "Looking Out For No. 1".
I was going to say the exact same thing. Both songs have that jazz element to them.
Blue Collar is a classic and would be great exposure to Randy's Guitar Godliness. And for a little more rockin sound, "Rock is My Life (and THIS Is My Song).
Yeah they show a whole different side of them that few realize they have
Blue Collar is one of my all time favs. But it’s a Bossa Nova tempo I think.
We must be related I was thinking the same exact songs 😎
This was a standard for us old guys. There was always someone in the group that you would hear singing "baking carrot biscuits". There is always one.
Never heard that one. Weird Al must have been a part of your group. I like it 👌
😂
My wife is that one!
She likes AC/DC "Dirty Deeds on the Jungle Jim"
🤣👌
@@mikecreger9702 Your wife sounds like a keeper!
Either this song, or possibly Old Time Rock n' Roll by Bob Seger, is the most dad rock dad rock song in the pantheon of all dad rock.
How I love BTO! I saw them a couple of times quite a few years ago. They put on a great show. AMAZING music!
I saw them open for Aerosmith during the "permanent vacation" tour.
They came out in denim coveralls. Real basic and just excellent.
@@georgeperkins4171 saw them as solo act in San Diego in the mid 80's and got to be literally 5 feet from them in a barn/bar in Aurora, Colorado in the late 80's. We were very lucky to have been able to see such fantastic artists!
I'm not so big on rating songs but, in this case, I have to say that this is s-tier for when you are working out, want to get pumped up in general, and to crank to 11 at a party or on a road trip.
Oh to be a teenager in the 70's. Remember seeing Montrose, Foghat, and BTO together when I was 16.
"Not Fragile, or "Sledgehammer" are some serious BANGERS from BTO...
I can't believe you two are JUST NOW HEARING this!!!!! We all NEED this in our lives!!!!
It’s not long when you’re out on the dance floor during high school. Memories of 1974 ❤️
BTO was still playing at fairs and stuff maybe 15 years ago. Only one original member left, but you wouldn't know it, this song sounded exactly the same live as recorded. They put on a killer show.
BTO's "Roll On Down the Highway" is truly a speeding-ticket song; "It's Over" and "She's a Devil" are deep-track bangers
I would also say that instead of the local bar band analogy, these guys are the opening band whose energy blew the headliners off the stage...and then became the headliners.
THIS CLASSICCCC WAS A HUGE RADIO HIT IN THE 70'S YOU GUYS! 😊
One of my favorite bands growing up. It just brings back so many memories growing up
Deep Cut from BTO: "Blue Collar", not at all what you'd expect from the title. Also, you should react to "Undun" by the Guess Who (not sure if Randy was still with them at the time, but probably based on the jazzy chords being used).
Bachman left in 1970. "Undun" was released in 1969 so he would have been playing on it.
More Canadian Bands PLEASE. The Tragically Hip must be heard
Seconded, I'd start with something like "Little Bones"
More April Wine! Sign of the Gypsy Queen.
they did new orleans is sinking during on a stream
@@geraldarsenault275 i must have missed it. But now the question is ... if they heard that,how can they not do another...lol
Sass Jordan
Oh Canada, you have brought us some saucy music over the decades. Thanks.🇨🇦
Nothing better than some good old Canadian rock & roll on a Monday morning! I love this song and this band ... soooo many memories flood back!
there was a time when Fragile and Not Fragile were simultaneously my favourite LPs
Man, back in the day this was such feel good music! Brings me back to the time a bunch of us kids rolled up to school…great way to start the day!
A&A, FINALLY, waited a year for this!!! You got to one of my all-time favorite songs!!!
You'd like their "Roll On Down the Highway" and "Hey You"!!
edit- Norman Durkee on piano, who they grabbed from another studio. Don't let anyone tell you it was the pizza delivery man!
Not the pizze guy?? But I heard that right out of Randy's mouth!
@@Vince-lq3ve its a made up story. A really cool story.
@@Vince-lq3ve Randy has never let the truth get in the way of a good story!
@@BobSoltis1 Well I guess Randy is both a good songwriter and a good story teller.
Still a very popular and well-known song here in Canada. In fact, lots of people, including the play by play guy for Toronto Marlies AHL hockey, use the term "He takes the 8:15 into the city" to mean he took care of business and everyone knows what they mean.
Used in a commercial in the US. I think Home Depot.
Saw them in concert back in the day. I lost my hearing for about a week. So worth it. 🎉❤
this band has always been on my record shelfs, a staple back in the 70's, had several albums on 8-track...got to see them live back then too...Rock ON! enjoy your channel a great deal...
BTO was huge when I was a kid.....brings back so many memories.
Thanks for hitting BTO again! Two more of theirs to definitely check out are "Looking Out For Number One", and "Blue Collar". Cheers!
Hoppin' around the back seat of Dad's Buick in '73. BTO cranked all the way up!
"Ain't Seen Nothin Yet" is another good one by them.
It's a very good driving song. In your car, warm day, windows down, and that guitar opens with the piano and bass. It really gets you going. I love it!
BTO - " Looking Out For # 1"
Completely different from what you've heard ( a Bossa ) and fantastic!!
Surprisingly no one has reacted to this
Mt guess A& A would love it.
I'm glad you mentioned "Looking Out for #1". Such a unique style!
@@danithompson8743
Agreed!
Randy Bachman was apparently hip to the Bossa Craze of the late 60's. This track so aptly used in
Austin Powers !!!
ruclips.net/video/BrZBiqK0p9E/видео.html
Knowing you guys are both rock musicians, I find it hard to believe neither one of you had ever heard this before. It's a 1970's garage band classic!
I've been banging on you guys for a while now to hit BTO's first album on Patreon. They bring the grit. And one of the best album covers ever.
Every cover band in history had this on their set list. So fun.
One of my favorite bands (as it is for MANY Canadians)! So many rockers! 4 Wheel Drive, You Ain't seen Nothing Yet, Blue Collar +++
They played BTO so often on the radio that even to this day, I can play their songs in my head like I just heard them yesterday.
BTO's progenitor, The Guess Who is well worthy of review. Burton Cummings is one of the finest voices of the 60's/70s.
Undun is probably my favorite song of theirs, but they have a ton of great hits.
Man I love BTO...simple music, with simple lyrics, but they were just so damn good with their formula.
This was our Great Dane Atticus Finch’s favorite song! Put it on, car in reverse, and he was ready to go for a ride ! Thanks for the memories ❤
Music is Magical! I used have at least 20 phone numbers memorized, and I can now only remember 2 or 3.
But, play a song I haven’t heard in 30, 40, even 50 years and I remember every word, melody, guitar solos, drum solos, and screams. Then watching you guys react, trying to hold back the laugh a little longer knowing the scream is coming, or the sick guitar/drum solo or the amazing lyrics. Fucking Magical!
Now THAT'S how you CRAFT a Pop-Rock single. Well done lads.
This song a gem to Canada youth if you think 20 or 21 was youth was almost an anthem to me at that time in the early 70's. It still is great today. Thanks college guys and have a drink on me.
Great bar band song. Still kills with the older crowd. I've sang this in multiple bands and for some reason it still resonates. Dance and party!
This was one of the first songs that me and my buddies learned to jam on back in high school. Great to see your reaction 🤘🏼
The 70s guys, it was that song you would ride home from school in your friends 68 camero full of girls shouting this song out the window to who ever wanted to hear it, along with Bababa baby you just ain’t seen nothing yet (which should be your next BTO song) those were good times 😊
This is one of the greatest songs ever. You think it’s too long. Those of us that grew up with it would like it to be longer. And the clapping part..that’s the part when us ladies shook our shit out on the dance floor. 💕
Makes a change from them marking a song down for being too short, this time they disliked it for there being too much going on 😢
young kids don't understand our era
DO NOT POOP ON THE DANCE FLOOR M'AAM
I was about 19 when BTO rolled out with this song, and a friend from work took BTO as his number one band. He had parties at his house, and BTO would be cranked up and running. Those were great parties. Roll On Down The Highway, Flat Broke Love, and a bunch of other BTO songs would be on.
The first song I ever played in a band. Way back in the 70's. This was the first song my first band played that actually sounded like a real song. After this song, I thought, OH, FAR OUT! There may be something to this band thing. So it holds a special place in my heart for that, more so for that, than the quality of the song.
Love how you guys are bopping…that middle table is rock n rolling sometimes too 👏🏻 🔥
One of the great road songs! At least for me and my buddy AL (RIP) doing the 2 guys in the VW bug road trip out West when this was first out!
My hometown boys from Winnipeg, Canada. Other songs
Blue Collar, Not Fragile, Rolling down the Highway, Looking out for number one. Randy Bachman before BTO was in the Guess Who. If you want to see one absolute banger of a version of American Woman please check out the 14 minute reunion version live in Winnipeg from 2004. You will see what a beast Randy Bachman is on guitar!
I love the everyday working-class people aspect of this song. When BTO References Public Transportation to get to Work, that sells the Song.
"take the 8:15 to the city"
Maybe because I heard this so much, and it was everywhere, and unabashedly pop, this has never been one of my fav. BTO tunes. I am glad you guys gave the song an A. "Hey You" and "Hold Back the Water" are a couple I like.
Exactly what Canadian hasn’t heard this song a zillion times on radio .. but it is a great song and great live but I feel I’ve heard it twice a day since it was released lol
Just stated that,I'm in Toronto and 62,I runaway when this is played,I love music,but my fave is Blue Collar.
"Hold Back the Water"
@@flatblack39 Another song from that first album, the one A&A need to react to on Patreon.
Straight up 70s banger. Heard in every bar at the time!!
This one is a straight up jam for me. There's no such thing as going too long. More, please!🎶👍
BTO in the 70's was great. Had multiple 8 track tapes. BTO 1 & 2, Fragile, Four Wheel Drive. Still love their tunes.
“Not Fragile” is a deep banger! Fred Turner rips it with his voice and bass.
Keep up the great work, guys!
Sometimes you gotta just enjoy the tune boys! The guitars were great, the drums and the glove. Just give in to the groove and enjoy. It’s not suppose to be changing the world. Just enjoy it man. The two breaks are my favorite part.
let it Ride, driving song. Roll On Down The Highway, another cool driving song. Just your 3 cord pickup, rock. Thanks guys.
Not to mention that the lyrics are hilarious. And Randy Bachman could sing anything and I would love it. The first actual band I was in in high school not related to school covered some cool stuff plus a few originals, but we did a BTO song called Tramp, which is actually on their greatest hits album but I don't think it was a huge hit. But I fell in love with that song; it has this incredible circular structure for the riff and it just feels so good.
By '86 this 1973 classic had been a staple for radio air play for 13 years of my 17 years on the planet. Imagine (if you will) closing out your junior year in High School on May 16th, 1986 taking in BTO opening for Van Halen on their 5150 tour... an 80's Rock-n-Roll classic concert! Like if aliens came to earth and said they wanted to experience Rock and Roll, I would only need to take them to this show to hear this and then later in the show, Eddie play his latest modified version of Eruption as part of his mind blowing tricked out solo and they would get it completely. I'll never forget that show. Love these guys!
"Oh What A Feeling" by Crowbar. Another Canadian banger. Thanks.
Now, there is a BAR BAND for the ages.
Randy Bachman wrote songs with Burton Cummings in The Guess Who. They had four million selling singles in a row (songs like "No Time" and "American Woman") and then Randy went off to do his own thing. This song is just great, solid rock n roll. Piano and guitar rock has always been my favorite (since Chuck Berry awoke the beast).
This song was so popular that it spawned a Jim Belushi Hollywood comedy, of the same title.
had this on 8 track and played it very loud in my convertible with the top down and the wind rushing through my hair
it was meant to emphasize the beat as that was all you could hear through an 8 track
got it on vinyl many years later
couldn't believe how much better it sounds on vinyl with proper amp and speakers
I remember seeing them opening for Van Halen in the 80s, like 10 years after they had been huge. They looked like a bar band, or a bunch of guys tailgating at a football game. They were excellent.
The "Not Fragile" album was recorded in quadrophonic and was awesome.
Long sea no time, welcome back. BTO have so many great songs beyond
the radio tracks, to mention some of them:
Welcome Home
Four Wheel Drive
Second Hand
My Wheels Won't Turn
Not Fragile
Just For You ♥
Give Me Youir Money Please
Stayed Awake All Night
Down Down
Hey You
Blue Collar
Hold Back The Water
Local bar band? Now imagine this live at a summer rock festival with ~20K people bopping along.
"Blue Collar" is Randy Bachman's jazz/rock masterpiece. A must listen. A Canadian band you must check out is the Headstones. May I suggest their cover of "Tweeter and the Monkey Man" or "Smile and Wave".
Simple three chord song but executed flawlessly.
Elvis Presley loved this song so much he made TCB patches for his Entourage
It’s a banger, with extras. We really liked dancing to this in the day, too.
The piano part in this song was created and recorded in a single take by a pizza delivery guy who was delivering food for another band that was also using the studio. The song at it's base is a desription of how the blind son of the studio's owner navigated his way into NYC every day as his job was to manage the studio and "Take care of business".
Randy Bachman was in the band “Guess Who”
Blue Collar is a great song by BTO, somewhat different from most of their songs, more jazzy but with a really great vibe.
Another banger from the boys up north. Thanks for bringing back many memories of this blasting on the car radio, driving around with friends
back in the day Every bar band I saw played this, we still loved it
You should listen to Randy's story about the piano player. He was delivering a pizza a couple of doors down the hall when he asked if he could play with BTO. They let him, then forgot all about his bit. It was put into the final mix and it helped the song but they had no idea what the name of the guy was. They eventually found him and he got credit. He went onto a very successful music career. Randy tells it far better. Look it up.
"You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet". A total champ.
You need to Google the story about the Pizza Guy adding the piano part on the fly. The studio ordered a pizza and he said that the song needed piano, so he added it and they kept it on the recording. The pizza guy left, never to be seen again until years later.
This is actually a myth...the piano part was recorded by a seasoned musician who was working in the studio next to BTO when they recorded the song.
@@mcnater - not according to Randy Bachman. He confirmed the pizza guy story on his CBC radio show "Vinyl Tap".
@@markchapel6694 The WIKi article covering the song also gets into the myth.
@@markchapel6694 Everyone but Randy disputes this, including Robbie Bachman. The pianist was Norman Durkee, he was not a pizza delivery man. He was working in the next studio and supposedly brought over a pizza that had been mistakenly delivered to Steve Miller, which might have been the source of the confusion.
There was a lot of versions but Randy said it was true. Anyway the bluesy piano added so much to this song. Can’t imagine it without it.
What an inexplicably flat reaction to a full on banger. Nothing too long about it. Pure driving, soul satisfying rock.
I got the "bar band" comment. Just so happens, in the 80's at the bar, when this was played, juke box or local band, the dance floor was packed. A real crowd pleaser.
This is an AM radio banger. Anyone on the school bus with a pocket radio picking this up would blare it out and we’d all sing along on the ride home. Good times, simple as that.
BTO had 4 top 40 albums and 6 10 40 hits and won Album of the year among other awards.
Yet another BANGER from the great BTO, always loved the great music we had back in the day of all these awesome bands giving us a playlist for our life. Glad your enjoying all that comes your way discovering these legends.
